That's right, a HUGE TROOPING EVENT in Sioux Falls, SD.
The Sioux Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and the Prairie Hills District are sponsoring this years SCOUT O RAMA. The event will showcase many local units, vendors, exhibitors, and local service organizations. This event will also host the finals of the district pinewood derby.
The event will be held Saturday April 30, 2011 from 10am to around 3pm (definite times coming soon.) At the Sioux Falls Convention Center. As for how big this event will be, over 2,500 tickets will be printed and sold prior to the event, Ticket sales will also be available at the door.
There will be no cost for this event and is open to all 501st, Rebel Legion, Mandalorian Mercs, Droids, Jedi Academy etc. If you need lodging there are many of us that live in the area. I am working on securing the Scout office as a place for out of towners to stay the night before. Secured dressing area will be provided, handlers/crowd control etc.
Our big part of this event would be to walk around the event, maybe escort some of the scouts when they are racing, a prison cell lockup, photo ops etc.
